another weekend of dancing!

but this time way way more dancing!

it's the national dancesport ballroom competition weekend at BYU and it has felt like non stop competitions

i had noive standard, novice latin, prechamp latin, Gold 1 Foxtrot, and Gold bar Tango.

it was way fun though but  my partners and i did well for ourselves mostly

so much makeup, costumes, fake tanning, rhinestones, hair gel, etc, goodness haha

the ballroom bubble :)

i was excited to finally get to dance and do it all

but also excited for it to be over to have my time back to myself again!

casey has been so sweet, he went to all my competitions and was there cheering for me

it's so much easier and more fun to dance when you know at least one person in the huge audience at the marriot center is watching you and wanting you to do well,

things are just so much better when he is around

so far, the big things we've gotten to watch are amateur smooth, amateur standard, and the professinal showcase. all so amazingly disgusting

tonight we'll go back to watch amateur latin and cabaret, so fun:)

it's fun to watch with casey because he has been to enough comps where he most definitely has an opinoin on dancing: good and bad dancers, good and bad costumes, etc :) so fun

here's some pics!

the pretty (and ridiculously expensive) costumes for amateur standard

casey pretending to be my latin partner :)

gotta love ballroom, dance!

in between the dancing of the weekend casey had his first basketball game for the start of tournament- they had a very nice win, casey made bunches of points, i was a proud wife,

we started wacthing all the college basketball conference tournaments,

we took naps,

we played house (aka we finally cleaned up after all the mess dancesport made in our place [casey just has to leave all his makeup and nail polish everywhere goodness!]).

sunday could not come sooner:

relaxation time

family time

pure casey and kimber time :)

finally, a step in the right direction

if you know me very well,

you know that i've been dying to be a group fitness instructor at a gym for years now.

i know i can do it.

i pretty much already have with kimberobics the past year or so.

friends tell me i should all the time.

i've had lots of experience with it with classes i've taken, dance workouts, track workouts, etc.

i just been telling myself i can't really find the time to do it or

they probably don't have room for me or

i have no inside connections with a gym or

all that nonsense

today i finally did something about it

i went into the provo gold's gym and asked how to become a group fitness instructor!

but then they told me i have to go to the orem gym where the corporate office is.

boo.

but i'm doing something about it and i am so happy!

i want to start getting paid to workout while having fun!!!!!!!

PLUS! tonight after that whole thing i was looking around at my old gym's schedule online (they have the best classes and schedule! so many i LOVE  it!) and there was the name Kimber for an instructor for a class! i've seen Kim, Kimm, Kimmy, and Kimberly before but never Kimber! my little heart jumped for joy! it's possible! one kimber can do it! i can totally do it! i am now determined to see my name as an instructor for a class on a piece of paper. you watch friends, one day soon, and i mean SOON, it's going to happen!

goal to self: tomorrow, drive to the orem office and start training to do it :)
